@Baldimo,
By obstructing justice the GOP are obstructing the demands of the constitution. Thus they are violating their oath and in contempt of congress.

@TheCobbler,
Obstructing justice? What justice have they obstructed? Writing laws is not the same as justice. Keep giving your twisted view of politics and the way our nation should work.

@cicerone imposter,
Are there any Amendments to the Constitution which mention our nation being a Democratic Republic?

Are you really trying to tell me that at the time of the writing of the Constitution there was already a Washington DC and a state of Wyoming? That is what Parados is trying to say.

@Baldimo,
Writing laws defines our justice system. You're the one who is twisted. Why do you think under the same laws, more blacks serve more prison time for the same crime as whites.

@cicerone imposter,
If you keep stretching like that, you are going to pull a muscle.

where Democratic Republic is mentioned in our founding documents?


It wasn't because the Republic wasn't following a model, the Republic was prototyping the concept Democratic Republic.

@bobsal u1553115,
Yet they thought to call it a Constitutional Republic and also a Representative Republic but no mention of a Democratic Republic. Keep up the stretching...

@Baldimo,
Seriously. You don't think the founding fathers wanted everyone not female or slave to vote for the representational legislature. You don't think the founding fathers created the House of Representatives to be voted in popularly?

Representational government requires popular vote to be representational.

@Baldimo,
So, even though this country is a Republic, and our leaders are chosen by popular vote or the votes of a President, Senators and Representatives we choose by popular vote, (such as the Speaker of the House or Secretary of Defense), we cannot call ourself a democratic republic because nowhere in the Constitution does it say, "The United States is a Democratic Republic".

Is that your argument?

Good. I thought I was missing something. That is his argument. The 'S' in US stands for semantics, apparently.

@Baldimo,
Justice comes by social wisdom written into laws. Wisdom that is discerned, shaped and envisioned by comparing our elect and population vote (checks and balances).

One tally represents the electorate and the other tally represents the overall population.

One tally is the democracy and the other is the republic. The republic (we the elect) is supposed to serve the democracy (we the people).

@Baldimo,
Gosh.. You are arguing that no democratic Republic existed at the time of the writing of the US Constitution and I agree. But all those things I listed now do exist. The US is a democratic Republic under today's definition. Wyoming exists under today's reality.

The times change. Meanings change. Even Hamilton used the phrase "pure democracy" when describing what the US Constitution didn't create. Within 20 year of the founding documents, people, including some of those involved in the founding documents, were using democratic to describe the US government.

The US is a democratic Republic. It is a representative democracy. It is a Republic. It is all of the above. Any claim to the contrary is using equivocation to deny it.

How much do Republicans hate gays? So much that a Kentucky State Representative wasted time and money writing a 454-page bill that pretty much defines "matrimony" as everything marriage currently is but only for straight people.

Gays can still legally get married but all benefits are reserved only for matrimony which is only for straight couples. Why would he do this? Religion. And he's pissed off that the evil Supreme Court made gay marriage legal. There is nothing good left in the Republican Party.

While I do not condone this kind of thing, it was very well done.
